Lonesome Desert Blues (12-09-25) |
A fly will stick to jelly and wood will stick to glue |
But a man won’t stick to a woman no matter what she do! |
The wrong way, I’m bound to sue! |
That man o' mine is triflin' and he don’t treat me right |
He’s got another sweetie, he sees her late at night |
That is why I’ve got those desert blues |
I’m gonna travel to the desert, out in the western land |
I’m gonna hid my troubles in the burnin' sand |
Temptation I can’t refuse |
For that man o' mine I’m bound to lose; |
My mind is like a row boat out on a stormy sea |
He’s with me right now, in the mornin' where will he be? |
Lore-oh, lore-oh, lore-oh! |
Lore-oh, lore-oh, lore-oh! |
I’m so nervous, I’m quakin' in my shoes |
I’m burnin' up, I’ve got those lonesome desert blues1 |
